BURNDOWN PREVENTION IN STATIC POWER CONVERTER EQUIPMENT. Conference Paper

abstract

• Burndown of static power converter equipment can result in injury to personnel and long-term loss of production. Because designers and users of the equipment are not inclined to publicize their misfortunes, few technical papers are written on the subject. Over the years the authors have investigated some burndowns, and one author has been present, on more than one occasion, when arcing faults have occurred, fortunately, without either burndown or physical injury to personnel. Some thoughts concerning arc initiation, burndowns, and their causes are presented that the authors feel are worth sharing with the engineering profession.
